Microstructural studies of W-10 wt.% Cu composites prepared by using ultrafine composite powder
2014
Abstract Tungsten–copper (W–Cu) composites containing 10 wt.% Cu (W–10Cu) were prepared by pressing and sintering a type of ultrafine composite powder. Constituent phases, grain size and orientation relationship between W and Cu grains were characterized and investigated. The results show that W–10Cu composites are composed of W and Cu elementary substance and orientation relationship between W and Cu grains is defined as 1 ¯ 1 ¯ 4 Cu / / 0 1 ¯ 1 W and (131) Cu //(200) W . The existence of the orientation relationship depends largely on the two factors. First, the grain sizes of both W and Cu were in the nanoscale range. Secondly, the interplanar spacing between both phases can match well owing to the residual stress of the W/Cu interface. Consequently, the obtained composites exhibited high density and excellent thermal conductivity.
